A UK financial technology firm has introduced an artificial intelligence platform for wealth managers and family offices, deploying AI agents to monitor client communications in real time and generate automated audit records for compliance teams.

The development, reported by CFO Tech, addresses a growing regulatory pressure point in wealth management as manual and sample-based monitoring processes come under increased scrutiny.

The Financial Conduct Authority has identified weaknesses in how wealth management firms link risk controls to day-to-day operations, with reviews flagging gaps in market abuse and financial crime assessments. WealthAi's system is designed to analyse all communications rather than selected samples to reduce the risk of problematic messages or trading patterns going undetected.

The platform is built around three agents: a compliance portal for chief compliance officers, a Market Abuse Regulation agent for surveillance teams targeting insider dealing and market manipulation, and a trade surveillance agent that links brokerage and custodian data to relevant communications. The system integrates with Global Relay, Microsoft Outlook, WhatsApp and Teams.

Jason Nabi, founder and CEO of WealthAi, said: "For too long, compliance teams have been asked to meet increasingly demanding regulatory requirements with tools that simply weren't built for the job."

Philip Dench, Head of Risk and Compliance at Saranac Partners, said: "WealthAi has the potential to revolutionise compliance monitoring and risk management, saving an incredible amount of time spent manually searching for key data."

The company is expanding beyond the UK, with regulatory support for FINMA, JFSC and Consob under development as it enters Switzerland, Jersey and Italy. Its data layer connects to more than 250 custodians and banks. Investors include Fuel Ventures and Founders Factory.
